Touchy Elton John storms off stage

SIR Elton John swore at fans and stormed off stage during a concert in Las Vegas last week.

The 70-year-old singer invited some fans up onto the stage with him as he performed his classic hit Saturday Night’s Alright for Fighting, but reportedly became annoyed when a fan repeatedly tried to touch him as he played.

Elton warned the crowd that they would be asked to leave the stage if they did not stop touching him.

The furious star finished his song before storming off backstage to cool down.

According to the Daily Mirror, one fan in the crowd said: “During Saturday Night they brought a ton of people on stage, and one guy wouldn’t stop touching him.

“He went off mic and clearly mouthed ‘f**k off’ twice and then pushed his hand.

“He left so they cut the song short, ushered everyone off stage and escorted the guy out of the building.”

Although Elton calmed down later and returned to the stage, he insisted the incident had made him rethink his concerts.

He said: “No more coming on stage during Saturday Night. You f***ed it up.”

Elton – who has sons Zachary, seven, and Elijah, five, with his husband David Furnish – recently announced that he plans to quit touring in 2021 and spend more time at home with his family.

He said he plans to embark on a three-year Farewell Yellow Brick Road world tour to mark his retirement, which will see him play at more than 300 shows across the globe.
